“…In the literature, diverse transition metal complexes of ciprofloxacin have been structurally characterized. More specifically, the crystal structures of the binary ciprofloxacin complexes with Cu(II) [6,7] and Cd(II) [8] and mixed-ligands ciprofloxacin complexes with Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ca(II) [9], Fe(III) [10], Cu(II) [11] and Ag(I) [12], where ciprofloxacin is in the neutral form are reported, as well as the crystal structures of the binary ciprofloxacinato complexes with Co(II), Zn(II) [8,9], V(IV)O 2+ [13], Mg(II), Mn(II), Cd(II) [9] and Eu(III) [14] and mixed-ligands complexes with Ba(II) and Sr(II) [9] with ciprofloxacin on the deprotonated mode. No binary complexes of ciprofloxacin with Mn 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ni 2+ and MoO 2þ 2 have been reported yet, although their role as elements of biological interest is well known [15][16][17][18][19].…”
